I do not want iOS to update itself automatically, does it do this?

I am new to the iPhone, and iOS.
I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 5.0.1 I hear 5.0.2 is coming out any day now.
As a Mac user I always like to wait after an update is released to read the feedback.
Will iOS update itself automatically?
If so how do I disable this?

No, it wont update automatically. You can either go to the computer, or update in Genral Settings (if so, over wifi because it gets expensive for a high data download over 3g).
Thank you for choosing Apple.

Because that is the Current iOS for your Device and you can ONLY update to the Latest... current... version.

I am considering switching from MIE to Firefox. But I need to use an outdated version (7.3.1) of QuickTime, and I do not want Firefox to update it. If I installed Firefox, how would I prevent this?

Firefox doesn't update plugins like that. The worst you might see is a "nag" from Firefox after an update, about that plugin being outdated; and you can dismiss that "nag" by just closing it.

If you don't tell us what solutions you've already taken, we're probably going to waste a lot of time telling you to do things you've already done.

Hi I do not want iTunes to open up automatically when I turn on my macbook pro. I tried going to System Preferences Users and Groups Login Items and then I took iTunes off the list but it still opens up automatically when I turn on my laptop.

Hi r,
Make sure you close iTunes before shutdown. And you're quite welcome.

I am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?

am trying to import Firefox bookmarks from a Windows machine into Firefox on an Apple. I do not want to use Safari. How do I do this?
I have, on my HP laptop, running XP Pro, using Firefox 4.0, went under bookmarks to show all bookmarks. A window opens up that says library. I then go to import and back up, and I choose export HTML. I then move this file over to my new Mac Pro. On my Mac Pro I also have Firefox 4.0. I go up under bookmarks, show all bookmarks, import HTML. It lets me browse and I find the file on the desktop, I select it then nothing happens. I am not interested in using Safari. I would like to continue using Firefox. However, as an experiment, I followed the same process except on my Apple computer I opened up Safari and tried to import in the Firefox bookmarks. It came up with an error saying the file could not be accessed. I then thought perhaps the file got corrupted, so I went back to my Windows Firefox and re-exported the bookmarks again. Same problem. So, am I creating the bookmarks incorrectly on my Windows machine?
Thanks,
Kent

Probably your Mac cannot understand the Windows html format, please try the following to see if it helps:
In your PC, export the bookmarks in html as you did in your post. After you have saved it, change the name of the file to “bookmarks.html” and save it again.
In your Mac, import the saved file as you posted.

I cannot highlight more than one e-mail. I am concerned about this when I am in the Junk mailbox. I do not want to open any e-mails that are in this mailbox.

I cannot highlight more than one e-mail. I am concerned about this when I am in the Junk mailbox. I do not want to open any e-mails that are in this mailbox.

Two thoughts:
1. You never need to open any emails in the junk mailbox. You can simply do Mailbox > Erase Junk Mail from Mail's menu.
2. What happens if you hold the shift key after highlighting the first in a series of emails, then click the second one with the shift key depressed? That should hightlight both.

Reset SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Choose the method for:
"Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
If this does not help, take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out
and repaired, if needed.
Best.

IOS 5 update issues. It tells me "This device isn't eligible for the requested download." Anyone else having this issue? It's giving me this message for my iPhone 4 and iPad 2.

ITunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

Hey Christownsend,
Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
Thanks,
Matt M.

My iTouch 4th generation says it is update IOS 6 and is not showing IOS 7 update

My iTouch 4th generation says it is updated (IOS 6) and it not showing me and update for IOS 7. Why?

No compatible
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

My Iphone is disabled because of too many attempts at unlocking in with incorrect passcode. I know the code and do not want to "restore" phone. How can I fix this

My Iphone 4 is disabled as a result of someone making too many attempts at guessing my passcode. I know my passcode and do NOT want to "restore" my phone. Is there a way for me to use my passcode to unlock it once it has been disabled?

Its frustrating because all of the help assumes you have forgotten your passcode, or that you can get in to your phone to get the ID number.

I do not want iOS to update itself automatically, does it do this?
